Uninstalling Quark

[limbo]

This is probably going to sound like a really stupid question, but how do you remove an application from a MAC? We need to swap software licenses between machines so an uninstall/install is necessary. Installing is not a problem but I have never removed software from a MAC before. Do I just delete the program from the application folder? Both machines are G4's on OSX.

Just delete it.

Took me a while to believe it's that easy after working with Windows for so long

Gotta love that! MAC's really are simplicity personified, "just delete it" LOL, niceone!

I believe you'll want to go into your Extensions Manager and disable any of the Quark Extensions. I don't think they disable themselves when you delete a program.

Delete the main program folder, and then do an HD search for files/folders with "Quark" in the title (command-F, and then enter quark in the search box)... That way you're not clogging up your HD with a slow accumulation of 'orphaned' extensions, preferences files, etc., every time you delete a program.

Some Mac programs also have an "uninstall" option in the original installer program... it's worth checking for one, because that will put all the relevant files in the trash automatically, without you having to hunt for them.

I agree with Mivox. Check for an UnInstall option . Especially with Quark which depends on many hiden files that even a search won't find (w/o special conditions).

BTW Having the same version of Quark on two computers isn't a problem, if you can get them activated, but you can not run the program at the same time on the same subnet.
